Experiences with

Accidents

Constipation hell, rectal pain, sore legs it's a never ending nightmare and puts so much pressure on my bladder I've had so many accidents now because of it 😔

Started off really well but went downhill a couple of months after with frequent poo and wee accidents. We're now on top of poo accidents but not wee. He has around 3 accidents a day unless you constantly remind him to go to the loo. Preschool say he's always too busy.

My younger son is almost six and at school and still having accidents 2 or 3 times a day, including at school. There doesn't seem to be anything medically wrong and I am waiting on a referral for an incontinence nurse. It's exhausting. I would love to hear from people with similar experience.

We have positive days and even a week where he can have bm every day and then set back where he starts holding and we increase the dose and then porridge texture poo and accidents. I read Dr. Hodges book and found it v useful specifically around x rays.

However, I am a little worried as I keep having accidents that I cannot control and even question that I should be wearing pads. Since wearing them, I’ve had severe diarrhoea and have been able to go about my day to day life without worry.

He had no accidents NB he rarely has accidents at home, I sit him on the toilet every couple of hours.

For years I had struggled with my bowels having occasional accidents and mild staining of underwear. I think the worst symptom above all was the persistent diarrhoea and stomach cramps. I can recall one occasion where I went out for a walk and the diarrhoea started.

When I mentioned to hospital staff about previous accidents, my anxiety of not reaching the toilet in time, and the potential for another accident, they presented me with the option of utilising incontinence pads.

LB is 6 was always interested in going to loo from a early age, we’ve struggled along the way with constipation so have only ever had about 2 week solid period of no accidents, we’ve been under the dr and a specialist team but with covid no one has been able to see him and the can only call every 6 months

We have watched the ERIC videos together and he understands that accidents aren’t his fault but I still struggle with getting him to be honest with me.

Still a couple of accidents here and there but huge progress! We’ve still a way to go on number 2’s but we’re getting closer! We’re so proud of him. Huge thanks to those who answered my previous post!

If he there isn’t a toilet near he sometimes has accidents. At home if he is too engrossed in what he is doing he still some times has accidents. I spoke to his doctor who just told me he’ll grow out of it. Just get used to doing lots of washing. I can’t keep doing this much laundry.

My 8 year old son started having daytime wetting accidents in about July time and then has been soiling since August. Just recently he has told me that he used to hold on to his poo, which I guess explains how this started.

Small accidents would often happen, but were decreasing in size and were usually just a little stain. We have consistently been doing toilet times three times a day after meals and he has done a poo each time. We are now on 4 sachets. At 5 sachets the accidents between poos increased again.

He’s had loads of accidents and often refused to use the potty, only a few successes. He was still good using the potty at home with us in the evenings. Then Saturday today at home with me and lots of accidents no successes. Should I give up and put him back in nappies?

Hi everyone, how common is wetting and soiling accidents in this year group in year 6?

Still having poo accidents every day after a week of being great and even being dry at night. This all started after lockdown. I’m starting to wonder if stress is playing a part as her diet is so good, she is drinking and doing toilet tries after meals and I’m at my wits end!!!

So when it comes to diarrhoea, my anxiety is horrendous, Ive been known to hold it as long as I can that eventually I will have accidents.

The specialist has ruled out constipation and has put him on Tolterodine, which I suppose is helping a little, but he still has frequent accidents. At primary school he wears a pad, but has free access to the disabled toilet and can go and get changed if he needs to whenever he wants.
